Holy cow! You probably have something there. Just yesterday Blago made a cryptic reference to Watergate and warning that anyone who recorded his conversations should remember Watergate. I'll bet he (Blago) has recorded EVERYTHING. Everything. I'll bet he has the goods on a lot of his co-conspirators.
This is the Chicago machine we're talking about. He'll be long dead before any of that sees the light of day.
The Watergate thing probably deserves its own thread?
At an unrelated event yesterday, the governor was asked once again about the federal corruption investigation hanging over him.Could he have been sending a message to prosecutors?BLAGO: I think there’s nothing but sunshine hanging over me.
When it came to Wyma and secret recordings, Blagojevich made a confusing parallel between himself and Richard Nixon
BLAGOJEVICH: I appreciate anyone who wants to tape me openly and notoriously. And those who feel that they want to sneakily and wear taping devices, I would remind them that kind of smells like Nixon and Watergate.
Rush is making some good points on his show today asking the question why the feds shut down the investigation NOW and moved to arrest Blago? They said it was a ‘crime spree of corruption going on’....were they afraid to let the thing play out any longer out of fear that Obama and his minions would become entangled even more?
My question........Is someone in the FBI protecting Obama? The tribune probably tipped him off too when they became involved.
